Comedian, writer and actor Jerry Seinfeld handed over the keys to his Colorado retreat to a new owner this winter, bringing to a close the estate’s 11-year journey on the open market.
Seinfeld initially listed the 27-acre property in Telluride in 2011, asking $18 million; by March of last year it asked $14.95 million. Seinfeld ultimately accepted an offer of $14 million on the nose for the home. He’d owned it since 2008.
A cozy architectural mix of alpine and farmhouse design elements, the house is very warm, and very large; its sections combine for a total of 12,260 sq. ft., with eleven bedrooms and at least twelve baths throughout. Brick and stone accents and plentiful wood magnify the warmth of the place; the great room, a cavernous space with a cathedral ceiling, is virtually entirely clad in pine. Artistic flourishes can be spotted, a pleasing eccentricity that is also expressed in ornamental windows and light fixtures.
The property gets high marks as a restorative escape inside, and out. A tour of the acreage reveals walking and hiking paths, and a creek can be spotted through the spruce and aspen tress that populate the grounds.
